As far as four or more towers on one building, back in the 1970's I worked for the first top 40 FM station in the Miami Fl. area and we would go off the air Sunday nights from 2:00 am to 5 AM for transmitter maintinence and our antenna was at the antenna farm at the Dade/Broward county line and got to ride in the elevator to our radiaiting element level at 1,215 feet and the engineer told me that he had made sure that WLYF was off the air. When I asked him why he told me that we (WMYQ) and WLYF shared the same radiating element. I thought he was kidding but nope. BTW we advertised 100,000 watts of radiated power yet the transmitter input meter was always at 19.5 KW. Antenna gain? I was 18 and I wish I had a camera with me.
